| 1905 (28th May), GB QV ½d chestnut postal stationery card overprinted ‘BRITISH BECHUANALAND’ (printed on thin buff card, BBS PC9 / H&G 2) used in the Protectorate after annexation of British Bechuanaland to the Cape. Addressed to Cape Town, the impressed stamp is cancelled with a MOCHUDI / B.B. (28 May) single circle datestamp. Three Anchor Bay (30 May) arrival datestamp struck on the front. Very fine. This card is scarce mint and very rare used, this being the first example we have handled. |
